              <text>"Das deutsche Ehepaar Anneliese Scherz (1900–1985) und Ernst Rudolf Scherz (1906–1981) verbrachte bis 1979 den Grossteil seines Lebens in «Südwest-Afrika», dem heutigen Namibia. Der promovierte Chemiker Ernst Rudolf Scherz war bereits 1933 aus Deutschland emigriert. 1938 reiste ihm seine Verlobte, die Fotografin Annemarie Scherz, aus Frankfurt a. O. nach. Ernst Rudolf Scherz engagierte sich im namibischen."Karakulschafzuchtverein, während seine Ehefrau ein Fotoatelier in Windhoek betrieb und gelegentlich Fotoreportagen in namibischen Zeitschriften publizierteIhr gemeinsames Interesse galt der Felsbildforschung. Auf seiner ersten wissenschaftlichen Expedition bereiste Scherz 1937 mit der amerikanischen Prähistorikerin Alice Bowler-Kelley (1894–1956) die Brandbergregion (Abb. 1, siehe Anhang).  Während der Forschungsreise fotografierte Scherz die Fundstellen mit seiner Kamera (Abb. 2 und 3).  Mangels eines systematischen Fundstellenkatalogs zur wissenschaftlichen Erforschung der Felsbilder beschloss der Amateurarchäologe, in Zusammenarbeit mit der «SWA Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft» in Windhoek sämtliche namibischen Felsbildfundstellen in einer Kartothek zu dokumentieren.</text>
